RE: Debian on Sparc 4 - woody to sarge - more progress
Hi Jurij et all,
I couldn't seem to see why I could type the full path and it would work,
yet SILO couldn't get the info from silo.conf. My symlinks are there
and so are the files. In the end I went OTT in silo.conf but it has
fixed the problem. Now I need to see why I had it in the first place.
Below is the info you requested, even though I can now reboot with no
issues really. I have a few aesthetics to look at, why it changed my
display to white and why I cannot see the correct Debian install dialogs
(the blue ones). Being able to upgrade the kernel and access the debian
site was the main issue here and that appears to be solved.
Thanks a lot for your time Jurij et al,
Steve

Try changing that to
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
initrd=1/initrd.img
Do you have the /initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-sparc32 symbolic
link set up? If you still have problems booting, post your final
silo.conf
file and the output of the following commands:
ls -la /
ls -la /boot
